Abstract
AbstractWorld cities are the main hubs of the global economy and international cultural life. They are nexus points in the accumulation and circulation of capital, labor, and culture in the capitalist world system. They comprise discrete social and spatial structures that can be investigated and help us comprehend the nature of macro‐level social phenomena typically described as globalization and neoliberal capitalism. World cities are also ideal contexts for investigating the interaction of global structures with local dynamics from the regional, neighborhood, and street‐level perspectives. Community‐based and ethnographic perspectives on the world city contribute to our intellectual comprehension of the interplay between structure and agency that is a perennial academic objective of the field of sociology. The study of urban culture in the everyday life of world cities helps us understand the nature of emerging forms of transnational community and citizenship.
